Now it came to pass,
while
Apollos
was in Corinth,
Paul
having passed through
the
upper
parts
to come
to Ephesus, and
having found
certain
disciples,
2
he also said to them, Did you receive
the
Holy
Spirit,
having believed? And
they said
to him, But
not even
did we hear
that there is
a Holy
Spirit.
3
And he said, Into
what
then
were you baptized? And they said, Into the
baptism
of John.
4
Then
Paul
said, John
baptized
a baptism
of repentance,
telling
the
people
that
they should believe
in the
One
coming
after
him, that is, in Jesus.
5
And having heard,
they were baptized
into the
name
of the
Lord
Jesus.
6
And
of Paul
having laid
the
h
and
s
on them, the
Holy
Spirit
came
upon them,
and
they were speaking
in tongues
and
prophesying.
7
And
there were
in all
about
twelve
men.
8
And
having entered
into
the synagogue,
he was speaking boldly
for three months,
reasoning
and
persuading
them
concerning
the
kingdom
of God.
9
But
when
some
were hardened
and
were disbelieving,
speaking evil of
the
Way
before
the
multitude,
having departed
from them,
he took
the disciples separately,
reasoning
every
day in the
lecture hall
of Tyrannus.
10
And
this
continued
for
two
years,
so that
all
those
inhabiting
Asia
heard
the
word
of the Lord,
both
Jews
and
Greeks.
11
And
God
was performing
extraordinary
miracles
by the
hands
of Paul,
12
so that
even
handkerchiefs
or
aprons
from
his
skin
were brought to
the
ailing,
and
the
diseases
departed
from
the
m, and
the
evil
spirits
left.
13
Now
some of
the
itinerant
Jews, exorcists,
also
attempted
to invoke
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
over
those
having
evil
spirits,
saying,
I adjure you
by
Jesus
,
whom
Paul
proclaims.
14
And
seven
sons
of Sceva,
a Jewish
high priest, were
doing
this.
15
But the
evil
spirit
answering, said to them, Jesus I know, and
Paul
I am acquainted with;
but you,
who
are you?
16
And
the
man
in
whom
was
the
evil
spirit,
hav
in
g leapt on
the
m,
hav
in
g overpowered
the
m all,
prevailed
aga
in
st
the
m
so that
the
y fled
out of that
house
naked
and
wounded.
17
Now
this
became
known
to all
those
inhabiting
Ephesus,
both
Jews
and
Greeks.
And
fear
fell
upon them all, and
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
was being magnified.
18
And
many
of those
having believed
were coming,
confessing
and
declaring
their deeds,
19
and
many
of those
having practiced
the
magic arts,
having brought
the
books,
burned
them
before
all.
And
they counted up
the
prices
of them and
found
it
five
myriads
of silverlings.
20
Thus
the
word
of the
Lord
continued to increase
and
prevail
with
might.
21
Now
after
these th
in
gs
were fulfilled,
Paul
purposed
in
the
Spirit
to go
to
Jerusalem,
hav
in
g passed through
Macedonia
and
Achaia,
hav
in
g said,
After
my hav
in
g been
there,
it behooves
me
to see
Rome
also.
22
And
having sent
two
of those
ministering
to him,
Timothy
and Erastus, into Macedonia, he
remained
for a time
in
Asia.
23
Now
at
the same
time
no
small
disturbance
arose
concerning
the
Way.
24
For
a certain
silver
smith
named
Demetrius,
making
silver
shrines
of Artemis,
was bringing
no
little
business
to the craftsmen,
25
whom
having brought together
along with the
workmen
in
such
things, he said, Men,
you know
that from
th
is
business
is
our
wealth.
26
And
you see
and
hear
that
not
only
in Ephesus, but
almost
all
of Asia,
this
Paul, having persuaded
them
,
has turned away
a great many
people,
saying
that they are
not
gods
which
have been made
by
hands.
27
Now
not
only
is this
business
to us
endangered
to come
into
disrepute, but
also
for the temple of the
great
goddess
Artemis
to be reckoned
for nothing, and
also
her majesty to be deposed,
whom
all
Asia
and the
world
worship.
28
And
having heard,
and having become
full
of rage,
they were crying out
saying,
Great
is
Artemis
of
the
Ephesians.
29
And the whole
city
was filled with confusion,
and
with one accord
they rushed
to the theatre, having dragged off
Gaius
and
Aristarchus,
Macedonians,
fellow travelers
of Paul.
30
But
of Paul
intending
to go in
to the
people,
the
disciples
would not allow
him.
31
And
also
some
of the
Asiarchs
being
friends
to him,
having sent
to him,
were urging
him not
to venture
into the
theatre.
32
So
some
indeed
were crying out
one thing;
others
another
.
For the
assembly
was confused, and most did not know for what
cause
they were assembled.
33
Now out of the
crowd
they put forward
Alexander,
the
Jews
having thrust him forward
. And
Alexander,
having motioned with
the
hand,
was wanting
to make a defense
to the
people.
34
But
having recognized
that he is a Jew,
there was
one
cry
from all, ongoing
about
two
hours,
crying out,
Great
is
Artemis
of
the
Ephesians.
35
Then
having calmed
the
crowd,
the
town clerk
says,
Men,
Ephesians,
what
man
is there
indeed
who
does not
know
the
city
of
the
Ephesians as being
temple-keeper
of the
great
Artemis,
and of that fallen from the sky?
36
Therefore
these things
being
undeniable,
it is necessary for you to be
calm
and
to do
nothing
rash.
37
For
you brought
these
men,
neither
temple plunderers
nor
blaspheming
our goddess.
38
So
if
indeed
Demetrius
and the
craftsmen
with him
have
a matter
against
anyone,
courts
are conducted, and there are
proconsuls;
let them accuse
one another.
39
But
if
you
in
quire
anyth
in
g
beyond this,
it will be solved
in
the lawful
assembly.
40
And
indeed,
we are in danger of
being accused
of insurrection
in regard to
this
day, there existing
not one
cause
concerning
which
we will be able to give
a reason
for
this
commotion.
41
And having said
these things,
he dismissed
the
assembly.
